After the ten hottest years on record, sea ice extent is normal at both poles.

Record cold in Alaska.

Record cold in Greenland.

Meanwhile, climate experts have found “for the first time” a direct cause and effect relationship between melting sea ice and extreme weather in California.

Scientists now predict that winter temperatures in the Arctic will rise 9 degrees over the next 30 years.

When in a pinch, Zeke Hausfather is the go-to-man for climate disinformation. Here is one section of his latest work. He claims ignorance about the historical retreat of glaciers, and bases his argument around hearsay, misinformation and the beliefs of people who have been consistently wrong.

He could have gone to the Glacier Bay National Park website, and found out that Alaska’s largest glacier retreated 45 miles from 1750 to 1880.

But Glacier Bay hardly retreated at all over the last 50 years.

He could have gone to the USGS web site and found out that Glacier National Park has been retreating since 1850.

Experts predicted Glacier National Park would be ice free by 1948.

He could have gone to the NASA web site, and found out that the Jakobshavn Glacier (which is now advancing) retreated very rapidly from 1851 to 1964, and then hardly at all through the end of the 20th century. Over the last three years it has been advancing.

When the glacier started advancing in 2016, climate experts were saying it was “retreating at galloping speed.” These are the same experts whom Zeke uses for his sources of  hearsay.
